Here is an interesting discussion on "threaded discussions":  https://meta.discourse.org/t/threaded-discussion-is-ultimately-too-complex-to-survive-on-the-public-internet/63172

I personally don't like them.  As the threads increase the discussion becomes hard to follow...

Why is it when I say that I don't want to clutter up my email with mail from mailing lists I'm told it's a misconfiguration.  It's not a misconfiguration.  I don't want the forum email cluttering up my mail - and I don't want to use an NNTP gateway, I want to use Discourse.  Why is that so hard to understand?

This is just due to your configuration. You could easily either save the
mailing list to your mailbox, or use an NNTP gateway.

Different people have different work flows, you like to go to Discourse, others prefer mail/nntp. For a lot of people (including myself) the lack of threading is a show stopper for their workflow. 

The mail interface in Discourse is...lacking a lot of features for a lot of people. Your comment "why is that so hard to understand" applies both ways....
